clamp on condenser mic for collings A

[MWCarr]

Anyone have advice as to microphone and attachment system. I do not have a pickgaurd and attach the strap at neck/ body area (tying under fingerboard). Would be great if I could move this rig to my fiddle when I'm playing dances. Thanks

From your concurrent thread...

Depending on your budget I would suggest:
K&K silver bullet
Audio Technica ATM 35 (Or 350)
DPA 4099

No matter what your budget I would suggest:
Using the above brands/models as keywords, search for previous discussions on the pros and cons of each.

PROTIP: You might have more luck using google and entering site:mandolincafe.com along with your keywords as the cafe's search function will not search for words with three letters or less.

Do you have a budget in mind?
Would you usually have technically savvy people around at your shows?

It's kind of confusing seeing the same question asked by the same member in two different categories. I had a suggestion about a tie-clip mic that I have had much success with and it is very inexpensive. At the price, it's worth a try. It sounded great on my mandolin and I am currently using it with my upright bass. Info is in the other thread.
